Controlling diabetes with diet can be done by following a few simple tips.

Find out about foods, vitamins and their benefits here.

Good
nutrition is vital to helping you manage your diabetes effectively.
Eating foods packed with vitamins and minerals can be a good way of
doing it.

It is a very good idea to eat a healthy diet at all
times. The best way to do that is to watch your intake of sugar and
refined carbohydrates.

However it is important not to deprive yourself. It is ok to have some sugar and fatty foods now and again.

Depriving
yourself of your favourite treats will make you crave them more and
more and eventually you will give in and pig out. (This is from someone
who has done this.)

If you find that you fancy that Krispy Kreme
doughnut, say that you can have it later. You may find that after an
hour or after you have eaten something healthy that you don't want it
anymore.

However if you are still craving it an hour later, have it and carry on eating a healthy diet afterwards.

This will make sure that your diabetes and nutrition are on the right track.

Another way to eat well is by cutting down on sweets, chocolate,
cakes and biscuits. After that cut down on white bread, white pasta,
white rice and potatoes. Replace those with wholemeal and brown versions
of them.
